A Business Plan for Connecticut
Connecticut needs to get back on offense. We are the Gateway to New England, one of the world’s most innovative markets, and we boast some of the world’s most productive workers, but governor after governor has failed to lead, failed to translate our strengths into real growth. For the last 20 years we’ve been dead last in job creation, we're dead last in business creation, and our families are paying the price.
Connecticut needs a bold leader with a plan to create jobs and make government work for our families—and the courage to make that vision a reality.
I will make government move faster, establishing a one-stop website and 1-800 number where entrepreneurs get an advocate to help them start, fund, locate, staff, or expand a business as quickly as possible.
I will stop ineffective tax giveaways and instead make strategic investments, ensuring we provide more early-stage financing to promising firms and support industries where we already have the wind at our backs, like biotech and precision manufacturing.
I will reach out to businesses across Connecticut and empower a network of ambassadors to do the same, ensuring my government is dialed into business needs now, and threats and opportunities in the future.
I will create a culture of innovation, sponsoring forums and grant opportunities that bring together leaders of different industries to share best practices, patents, and talent.
I will modernize our transportation infrastructure, investing in our most congested areas, competing effectively for federal dollars, strengthening passenger and freight rail, and creating thousands of good jobs in the process.
I will invest in our people, improving our schools with innovative reforms, ensuring our kids graduate college with in-demand skills and well paying jobs, and offering full loan repayment for students at state colleges who stay in state after graduation.
I will attack high costs, building on federal reforms to bring down health care costs for small businesses and using federal and state dollars to create an army of energy entrepreneurs to make Connecticut the most energy efficient state in America.
